Penrith Race 4 - Major Oak Theatre Restaurant Halloween Night @ Club Paceway Oct 31 Pace
RED SAPPHIRE (5) looks close to a win after back-to-back placings, beaten 2m when second at his latest appearance over 1609m at Newcastle. Came from this barrier for third at this circuit and distance prior and should be at peak fitness now. CHASING REX (7) has switched from WA to Luke McCarthy since closing off last campaign with a win at Gloucester Park seven months ago. Readied with a trial and strikes at 50 per cent when fresh so could make an immediate impact. DOM TORETTO NZ (8) was solid when coming from a wide barrier for a last-start fifth at Menangle and is proven at this circuit and distance. BEV THE GOAT NZ (3) disappointed last time but won prior and her strike rate at this circuit and distance stands at 50 per cent so she may be worth another chance.

Didn't do much last start, was well back in the run when 7th (Fr4) over 2125m at this track, beaten 25 m by Jimmy James Maguire (2:32.70) on October 8 at $26. Before that 8th (Fr5) over 1720m after showing early pace at this track, beaten 21 m by Tiger Prince (2:02.70) on September 24 at $12. Draws well but needs improvement.

Failed to impress last start; 10th (Fr2) over 1720m at this track was 7th-8.78 at the bell, beaten 18 m by One For The Rodi (2:03.40) on October 15 at $3.10. Showed ability the race before when she tracked on the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.3 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr1) at this track (2:01.50) beating Fire Fox in on October 8 at $2.20 at the bell was 2nd-2.55. Capable of better.

Good run when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third behind Bev The Goat at this track over 1720m on October 8 at $8. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2 m finishing second behind Ohoka Cobra at Newcastle over 1609m on October 16 at $1.80. Peaking now and looks ready to strike.

Returns after seven months in the paddock. Finished off last campaign recording a big 4.5 m win as favourite when driven back in the field, (Fr7) held up early, at Gloucester Park (2:35.00) beating Lillie Queen in 4yo+ on March 20 at $3.50 at the bell was 2nd-1.7m 2WNC. Has a strong first-up record with two wins to his name so can measure up for the new yard.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr7) over 1609m after showing early speed and racing wide at Newcastle, at the bell was 9th-16.68 beaten 10 m by Piccadilly Pete (1:51.90) on October 2 at $26. Two runs back 6th (Fr1) over 1609m after showing early pace at Menangle was 5th-8 at the bell, beaten 8 m by South Seas Rock (1:52.70) on September 26 at $17. Hard to have on those efforts.
